Russia is o dramatization by Miss
Charlotte BehreDs from French
novel. The scenes are Russian, and
military life, Siberian exile, aud love
are the themes. The three best charac-
ters were filed by Mr.. Bangs, Mr..
Ambrose, and Miss Behrens, and the
piece went off veiy well indeed, espe-
cially for first night. Mr.. Bangs and
Mr.. Behrens we're several times called
before the curtain, and the Audience
was throughout liberal in applause.
The costumes were very handsome ;
but the performance was pot helped
out by stage effects equal to what it is
entitled to.
Miss Behrenss work is creditable to
her. Doubtless she sees improvements
that may still be made, and with the
true artistic perception she will be
prompt to avail herself OF the sugges-
tions that occur, and could only occur,
after the play has been produced before
the public.
Tonight the second performance OF
"Russia will be given at the Rich
mond Theatre with Miss Charlotte
Behrens and Lr. f. c. Bangs in the
leading roies. This event marks the
first benefit for the new but growing
benevolent order Instituted in thi'
city-the Benevolent and Protective
Order OF Elks. an order which though
young has been the means OF doing
some noble deeds Of charity. As the
order will be benefited only by the ac'
tual sale of tickets by its members,
those who propose going to witness the
performance, and who are desirous Of
assisting the Elks, should purchase
their tickets from them. All these
tickets can be exchanged for reserved
seats without extra charge, and the
general admission tickets are on an equa
footing with those sold at the Theatre
Here is q chance to enjoy play, and
at the same time help worthy cause

TIE CUSTOM.

Heretofore it has been the custom
with the Richmond Democrats to hold
primaries, but the last one held
Tor the nomination Of councilmen
bred such discomfort and gave the
reform party such an oyerwhelm-
ing victory that now some of the most
sober and sagaciou3 leaders will adyo-
cate convention.

ELECTION oP DELEGATES.

Should a convention be decided upon
ward meetings or primaries may be
held for the election OF delegates.
The present City Committee is COM
posed Of active and vigilant workers.
and nothing will he left undone to Sc
cure harmony in the party ranks and to
insure that success which Democracy has
heen wont TO achieve in Richmond, the
coveted prize OF Malone and his fol-
lowers.
The Republicans are at work. as the
dispatch has already shown quietly
but earnestly, and a desperate fight
will be made by them. Their ward
organizations are being effected and
without noise they are working with
stcadlast determination, especially
among the colored element.

The Author OF the OtIey Telegram.

The Author OF the Oiiey Eeiesran'
A long time has now elapsed since
Alderman Otley rose in the board and
stated that by forged telegram he
had been called to Washington, and
thus prevented from voting on the Piz-
zini resolution. One or more officers
of police were set to work to ascertain
who the foIger is. The result of their
work-tfough it is understood to be
highly important-has not been made
public.
NJ ..nwhile a number of prominent
citizens, thinking it reproach to Rich
mond that such crime could beperpc-
trated and the offender not brought to
tie bar Of public opinion, if not to the
t-r of justice, have employed Detective
Wreh TO work up the case. A commit
tse wes on the streets yesterday collect
ing money to lay the expense of en-
ploying Mr.. Wren.
1t is an open secret that the police
officers have accumulated valuable tes-
timony, but it is not SO well under
stood why there is no further move
made.

OUR CLUBS.

Meantime the Democratic ward clubs,
and they have ever been prime factors
in the Richmond elections, are not idle.
IN every ward there is one or mO;e OF
such organizations. They are holding
meetings almost weekly, their member
ship is steadily increasing with them,
the campfire is kindling and will burn
with growing brilliency until the day
of the election, when with the Demo
cracy thoroughly organized and every
ward well worked up they expect to
march in a solid phalanx to glorious
victory.

This done, the City Committee,
should 1t bc decided, as not unlikely it
will, that the present organization
stands, will meet early in September
and proceed to make arrangements for
vigorous canvass
The first matter which will en-
gage the attention Of the commit
tee is whether there shall be held a
primary election or convention to
nominate candidates for the House Of
